Ha! I had a feeling you would beat me to it, Cathy. 

Isn't this a wonderful shot! Like I mentioned in my thing (can't think what it's called), even though this is a simple picture it has allot going on. The Tit, the catkins, the branches and the blue, blue sky.

I think it's superb!

I just have to add this one!  It is the South African National Bird and known as the Crowned Crane.  Although it is seldom seen in the wild any more.

Anyone know what type of gull this is?  I would guess it is probably a juvenile!

It's a juvenile something. 

 Gulls are notoriously hard to identify, especially in their juvenile plumage. 

It looks like it could be a juvenile Herring Gull
